You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 390

Catherine wasn’t able to suppress her wrath anymore when Hilary brought up her late son in front of her.

“Shut up! You’re in no position to bring him up! You were the one and only he cared about, but you didn’t even flinch when you left Clary behind! If there’s someone indebted to him, it’s you!”

Hilary smirked as if she couldn’t be bothered. She rebuked, “He would never allow me to live a miserable life. I’m sure he’s glad I have been living a great life since he’s no longer around to take care of me.”

“Y-You’re such a shameless woman! G-Get out of my sight at once!”

Catherine put her phone aside and started waving her walking stick in Hilary’s direction in an attempt to chase her out. As a result, Clarissa wasn’t able to gain vision over the things going on.

She could merely hear their conversation. The shameless Hilary wouldn’t stop provoking Catherine with her harsh remarks.

“Why don’t you calm down and listen to me when I’m merely trying to tell you the truth? You can’t deny I have given birth to Clarissa, can you? Are you going to dismiss my contribution to the Quigleys? She can easily sever ties with me, but it won’t change the fact that she’s my daughter! I mean, you don’t want others to deem her an unfilial daughter, do you?”

Clarissa, who was on the other end of the call, started shivering in anger as she heard their conversation.

She immediately hung up the call and acquired Hilary’s contact number from the attorney. Seconds after Catherine chased Hilary out of her place, Hilary received a call from someone.

Hilary beamed in satisfaction and picked up the call after marching her way out of Catherine’s place.

Clarissa yelled, “Hilary, what the heck do you want from me?”

Her so-called mother, who had a relatively disheveled look after the fight with Catherine, started running her fingers through her unkempt hair with a grin.

She took her sweet time to gather her thoughts and cleared her throat before answering, “Aren’t you aware of the things I’m up to? Actually, I’m not even asking for much, Clary! You can easily sever ties with me but not with your beloved Grandma, can you? Since you refuse to talk to me, I have no choice but to try my luck with her!”

Clarissa hesitated no more. She addressed Hilary with her first name and asked, “Since when have you become such a shameless woman, Hilary?”

Hilary wasn’t particularly irked by Clarissa’s response. She played along with her so-called daughter and asked, “Have you no manners, Clary? You’re not supposed to address your mother with her first name!”

“Are you sure you’re my mother?”

Chuckling, Hilary asked, “Aren’t you aware of the truth? Shall we confront your grandmother and see if she’s aware of the truth as well?”

It was then Clarissa figured it was an attempt of Hilary to coerce her into submission since Catherine was the only one Clarissa cared about.

Hilary is certain I won’t tell Grandma I’m not a member of the Quigleys! She’s trying to warn me to stop challenging her if I want to keep Grandma safe!

You’re so smart, Hilary! You have gotten the better of me for once! There’s nothing I can do about it because you’re right—Grandma is the only one I care about! I can’t afford to put her life at stake!

Gritting her teeth in wrath, Clarissa found Hilary despicable yet there was nothing she could do to stop her so-called mother.

Hilary felt great as Clarissa went dead silent. It was the first time in forever things started progressing the way she wanted.

She felt a sense of relief after spending the past few days in fear and humiliation.

It works like a charm! All thanks to Shermaine’s plan to threaten Clarissa with that old hag!

“Clary, what’s wrong? If you’re not going to answer my queries, allow me to share my upcoming plan with you! I’ll be staying here to keep Catherine company for another few days. To be honest, I’m equally upset because of the things awaiting us. I can’t believe you’re pressing charges against your own mother!”

As Clarissa remained silent, Hilary felt a sense of superiority. She felt a strong urge to meet her so-called daughter in person to get a glimpse of her current expression.

It’s time to get her back for the things she has put me through over the past few days!

“It has been quite a few years since my last visit! I’ll take a short break from everything for a few days and enjoy myself in W City! As for the court trial, why don’t you take care of it on our behalf? Things have been hectic on my end over the past few days! I’ll spend the next few days with Catherine and reminisce about the good old days with her!”

Hilary hung up the call immediately after she wrapped up her conversation.

Unable to contain her excitement, she burst out laughing in the middle of the streets. When she caught the onlookers staring at her with their brows furrowed, she knew she had to get a grip on herself.

Hilary then checked herself into a nearby hotel and took a shower.

Once she finished indulging herself, she called Shermaine and announced, “Shermaine, you’re so brilliant! Clarissa stopped picking on me just because of that old hag! I can’t believe that old hag gets to live such a long life in spite of bringing upon the demise of her husband and her son. Anyway, she had just done me a huge favor.”

Shermaine instructed, “You need to refrain from trying anything silly just because you have gotten the better of Clarissa for once. Also, never make any rash decision without consulting me. Otherwise, I’ll leave you alone if things head south in the future.”
